I’ve been thinking lately about sin, and temptation, and those people I call giants of the faith. I realized that the last part really isn’t fair of me, to expect greater of someone else.
So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you do not fall!
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. (1Cor.10.12-13)
…
So, of you think they are standing firm, be careful that you don’t place your trust in them! No strength is in them that is not purely God.
No merrit in them deserves your praise.
I have had to realize again that all men are created, and remain equal. No "giant" is greater than me. Any one could fall, any day.
Therefore,
STAY SHARP
STAY AWAKE
KEEP YOUR WITS ABOUT!
Sharpen your sword in Bible study, in memorizing Scripture, in thinking on the Word, and in applying its precepts.
Stay awake in fellowship with Jesus! He is your food and drink... DO NOT FEED OFF YOURSELF! Get new food in you!
The Holy Spirit is your spiritual wits. Be filled CONTINUALLY with the Holy Spirit, he is your strength.
therefore, if you think you are standing firm,
BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DO NOT FALL!
(1Cor.10.12)
